WISE MEN/WOMEN - reactions to JESUS

Matthew 2: 10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.

THREE REACTIONS TO JESUS-THEN AND NOW

The wise men rejoiced over JESUS by anticipation of seeing the KING; by faithfully following the star; by seeking HIS presence; by falling down and worshiping Him; and by giving gifts to honor Him. They rejoiced with great joy.

The reaction of believers in JESUS follow the same path. They are driven on their quest by the strong desire to see JESUS and to love Him. They and we rejoice with great joy.

There are two other reactions to the birth of JESUS-then and now, but for now let us focus on the devotion of the wise men as they inspire us to diligently seek the Christ, THE MESSIAH, THE REDEEMER, OUR KING.
